DownloadGluster 3.1: Using the Server Manager
From GlusterDocumentation
Once you login, your first step is to prepare the disk you selected at the time of installation. Select the server (check box) and click prepare-data-disk. This process takes few minutes to few hours depending on how big your RAID volume is. Once this step completes, you are ready to create as many virtual volumes as you need using the volume manager.
Add Server
The first time when you add a new server to the cluster, you will be prompted to enter an IP address range for the storage pool. You simply reserve a range of IP addresses in advance for the storage servers. For example, if you are planning to scale the storage cluster to a maximum of 20 servers, then you will enter 192.168.1.12 - 192.168.1.20, where 192.168.1.11 is the IP address you already assigned for the management console. There is no harm in assigning more than what you are planning to scale.
The next step is to use the same installation media to boot your new storage server. Do not interrupt the booting process. It will automatically proceed to remote installation method on expiry of the interrupt time-out, and return you back to the management console. Click Add Server. Your remote server will be automatically detected and you will be prompted for remote network settings.
